"How are you,Lucy?Where does it hurt?"
I was angry that he came late and didn't want to talk to him.
When Amanda forced me to kneel in the room,I had secretly pressed the emergency contact button on my phone. Henry was the only one I had left in this world, my sole emergency contact.
"Mr.Henry,I suspect that you're deliberately saying she's your sister just to protect the mistress,"the live streaming woman said recklessly,holding her phone towards us."This woman's name is Lucy.There's no way she could be your sister."
Henry looked at her as if she were a fool."You're Amanda's cousin.Your father runs a small electronics factory."
The live-streaming woman's face immediately changed,and some of the people behind her all lost their arrogant demeanor.
"Are you threatening me?"She looked at her phone screen."I'm telling you,the people have discerning eyes.There are millions of people in my live-streaming room.Even if you threaten me,you can't change the fact that she's a mistress."
Amanda also got up from the ground,snatched the phone,and began to cry pitifully."I'm Henry's girlfriend,his fiancée.We've been together for three years and were about to get married.It's this woman who came between us."
She thought she looked heartbroken,but in fact,she looked uglier than a ghost.Her eyeshadow had smudged,and her tears mixed with makeup seeped into the scratch marks on her face.
"Henry,I love you so much.Are you really going to..."Before she could finish,Henry grabbed her by the neck.
Henry's eyes were terrifyingly cold,and I suspected he really wanted to strangle Amanda.Looking at the live-streaming camera,I tugged at his arm,and he let go.
"Amanda,if you insult my sister one more time,I guarantee you'll die a miserable death."
The on-lookers were enjoying the drama.
"Could it be that they mistook his sister for a mistress?"
"Weren't they saying they don't have the same surname?"
"You're so stupid.Can't one take the father's surname and the other the mother's?"
Amanda also heard the whispers of the on-site crowd.After coughing,her whole face turned red,either from being choked or from fear.
Amanda's numerous relatives were already feeling a little weak-kneed at this point.But some of the bolder ones still came forward to act like elders.
"Henry,I'm Amanda's aunt.I'm also your elder.What's your relationship with this young girl?You should make it clear to everyone to avoid any more misunderstandings."
Before Henry could speak,a young girl in the crowd excitedly shouted,"I remember now.Mr.Henry's mother's surname is Fu. In an interview,he once said that when his parents were doing scientific research,they always believed that they would' await the clear sky after the clouds part' with every failure."
Amanda was trembling all over,looking at us in disbelief."Henry,Lucy,you really are..."
Suddenly,the sound of police sirens in the distance interrupted her.
"Officer,I'm Henry's aunt.This is a family matter..."
"Yes,I'm Henry's second aunt."
A group of women chattered around the police officers.
"I don't know them,and I don't have such relatives.Please take them all away,officer,"Henry said with a dark face,exuding an imposing aura.
Seeing that the police were serious,the group of women panicked.
"Amanda,quickly beg Mr.Henry.Aren't you about to get married?"
At this moment,Amanda had completely lost the arrogance she had in the villa.With a pale face,she walked up to Henry.
